If you're a fan of Milwaukee food, you've definitely heard of Ardent, the amazing and award-winning restaurant from chef Justin Carlisle. What you might not know is that Ardent turns into a kicking ramen spot after midnight, serving lines of hungry diners searching for late night soups. Well, they're bringing that ramen to Chicago.

Carlisle let us know about the pop-up, which is happening at White Oak Tavern on Feb. 28. Tom Van Lente (the chef at White Oak) asked Carlisle to bring the concept to Chicago.

"It's a great excuse for Chicago people that have came up and have asked for it," says Carlisle. Chef Sean Pharr of The Bristol will also be joining in.

According to Eater, the menu will include "tonkotsu ramen, some miso peanut brittle chicken wings, fried rice coquettes and beef belly with fermented rutabaga." And unless you want to drive to MKE and stay up very late, this is your only chance to get a taste.

Tickets are $29 - call (773) 248-0200 to purchase.
